Margot Robbie eyeing up incredible Byron Bay mansion

Dubbed as “Australia’s most beautiful home” this remarkable Byron Bay property certainly fits Margot Robbie’s criteria for a dream house.

The beloved Aussie actress and husband Tom Ackerley have flown back to Australia and have taken the time, in between visiting friends and launching a new spirits label, to go house hunting in beautiful Byron Bay.

Robbie and Ackerley were spotted walking through the stunning “Cedar Hill” home in Newrybar, which sits around 10km south of Byron Bay.

Property records state the 8-bed, 8-bath home that offers over 2 hectares of land has been on the market for two months.

In its marketing campaign, it is described as a “Malibu Aspen Love Child”.

“The perfect property is a place where calmness calls, fusing relaxed luxury with picturesque tranquillity,” the listing reads.

“Such a rare destination does indeed exist with “Cedar Hill”.

“Revered as one of Australia’s most beautiful homes and boasting lush hinterland and ocean views, it is a spectacular showcase of international design and unique architecture.

“Cocooned within five acres of absolute peace and paradise, two sprawling premium hardwood residences rise up from this elevated, northeast-facing estate.

“Linked by a glass-lined walkway that nicely separates social and sleeping quarters, elegance blends skilfully with cutting-edge design, including retractable glass walls, soaring ceilings with exposed timber beams and polished concrete floors. Brought to life by award-winning designer, Jase Sullivan, these globally inspired interiors are a textural triumph.

“Recycled timber, blackbutt wall panelling, chic bohemian textiles, grass-cloth walls and natural stone combine to create an earthy ambience, pairing perfectly with custom furniture.

“Likewise, the galleries of glass invite an abundance of natural light to cascade in, creating sumptuous and serene spaces to enjoy.”

The property was last sold in 2019 for $2.415 million but has since been significantly upgraded.

According to development records, around $4 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the home.

If Robbie was to purchase Cedar Hill it would only serve to enhance Byron’s reputation as a home of the rich and famous.

The area’s biggest star and longer-time resident is actor Chris Hemsworth, who bought in the area about five years ago before building his $20 million mega mansion.

While his brother Liam owns upwards of $13 million of real estate in the area.

Hollywood star Zac Efron also purchased a significant piece of land in the Byron hinterland region in 2020, after filming there.

PropTrack reported just four houses have been sold in the tightly-held Newrybar market over the last 12 months.

There is currently no price guide for Cedar Hill but is said to be worth around $20 million.
